Snigir in a new image, Chebotarev on horseback: premiere of "Gypsies. Shakespeare Street"

The secular audience began the week at the Khudozhestvenny, where on Tuesday, March 4, a camp descended — we are talking about the characters of the new series "Gypsies. Shakespeare Street," although there were so many guests at the premiere screening that it was barely possible to squeeze into the lobby. The interiors of the cinema acquired a special flavor for this occasion. The carpet alone was worth it — instead of the usual red carpet, the painfully familiar patterned carpets spread across the floor. The guest stars supported the aesthetics of the evening in their clothes. The ball was mostly ruled by black and red. The main actor Dmitry Chebotarev could have made a bet on the most spectacular appearance — in the morning of the same day he was riding around Moscow on a horse.

His hero is a young promising lawyer Mikhail Demetrov. There is a great future ahead and a wedding with the chef's daughter. His plans are disrupted by a sudden meeting with his first love, Diana, a gypsy. It turns out that he himself comes from a camp from which he was once expelled. At one time, he, then just Mihai, and Diana were separated. The girl was forcibly married to another man, and now she reports that she and Mihai have a teenage daughter together and only he can save the child.

The project was presented by a team led by Okko general producer Gavriil Gordeev, director Danil Chashchin, producer and screenwriter Oleg Malovichko and cinematographer Eduard Moshkovich, as well as actors Elizaveta Yuryeva, Polina Gukhman, Igor Grabuzov, Mila Yershova, Evgeny Sannikov and others. Yulia Snigir, who recently became a blonde for filming the sequel to the series "Gold Mine", Alexey Serebryakov, who played the father of the hero Eidelstein in the Oscar-winning "Anor" and did not show up with colleagues on stage in Hollywood, Oleg Menshikov, Alexander Tsypkin, Eldar Kalimulin, Vlad Tsenev, also came to support their colleagues.

Sasha Bortich at the premiere of the film "Chemistry between us"

The next day, the stars migrated to the capital's neighborhood cinema, which hosts big social premieres at least as often as October, for a private screening of the dramedy Chemistry Between Us starring Sasha Bortich, Nikita Efremov and Evgeny Sangadzhiev. And based on the positive reaction of the audience in the audience while watching the first two episodes, the project can safely be called one of the hits of the season. Even more amazing in this sense seems to be the story of director Karina Chuvikova — this is her debut project. Before starting her career in cinema, Chuvikova worked as a department store manager in St. Petersburg. Her work was first shown at the New Season Festival in September 2024.

— Initially, the project was called "Till Death do us Part," but we jointly decided that it should be more optimistic. Nevertheless, the word "chemistry" in the new name has two meanings," said the CEO. Wink.ru Anton Volodkin.

Sasha Bortich's benefit is a funny story about a sad illness and the fight against it

Sasha Bortich's character is Tanya, a taxi driver who raises two children alone. She is seriously diagnosed, and then the main goal of the girl becomes to find a man to whom she can entrust the upbringing of her son and daughter after her death. And the creators manage to tell all this in an incredible way in the language of comedy.

— My character in this project doesn't look like any of the characters I've ever played, and it seems to me that in all her states she turned out to be very authentic. The main idea of today's viewing and the whole project for me is love is stronger than fear and love is stronger than everything," Sasha Bortich admitted.

She was accompanied at the premiere by her castmates Evgeny Sangadzhiev, Anton Filipenko, Kuzma Kotrelev, Nelly Uvarova, Pavel Vorozhtsov, Ilya Lykov.

Dinner of the restaurateur Maxim Polzikov

Representatives of the food industry also took the floor on the secular agenda last week. On the evening of March 4, Maxim Polzikov, a restaurateur, founder and brand chef of the Michelin-starred Rybtorg, invited the metropolitan audience to a presentation of the Multiculture project dedicated to the culinary traditions of Russia, Israel, Spain and Azerbaijan.

"Multinational families usually mix traditions in one way or another, and this is especially evident in gastronomy," Polzikov began, saying that the concept was inspired by his family traditions and national dishes. — We play with combinations of several flavors from different cultures in one dish.

The result of this experiment was hummus with celery, poultry pate with cherry azme, cheek of a toothfish with curry and vegetables, and other dishes that the host of the evening treated his first guests to.

Among them is an exhibition of art objects and jewelry created from volcanic lava by film director Valeria Guy Germanica. The title "Love is the territory of kisses and volcanoes" is a line from one of the "One Hundred Sonnets about Love" by the Chilean poet, Nobel Prize winner Pablo Neruda. Next door is a personal exhibition by artist Katya Nikitina, who enters into a dialogue with religious and literary works. For example, the image of Dostoevsky and Dante's "Divine Comedy" were reflected in the paintings. Nearby is the collective exhibition "Horizon — blue", where the authors explore the variety of shades of this color. The exhibition will be open to the general public until April 13.
